Mega Scizor is really strong, where are you hearing this :|
He's generally outclassed in an offensive scouting role by Band Scizor, outclassed in pure wallbreaking and bulky offense by LO Kyurem-B and in a priority role by Smogonbird and Mega Pinsir, but he's a potently strong threat with great balance on offense and defense. He's actually more physically defensive than Skarmory, the god of "physical attacks dgaf". And with a Swords Dance boost, he's far from a weak attacker.
Only things holding him back are the fact that he's hardcountered by Smogonbird and Aegislash (wow these two wreck everyone ban pls) and lack of a strong STAB to abuse that attack stat. His Bullet Punch is indispensible for destroying all Fairies not named Klefki - even Mawile is killed because unless it has Fire Fang/Fire Blast (it won't), it can't touch Scizor due to both STABs resisted and Sucker Punch failing due to being outsped.
Oh and Tyler I guess you could run Fire Fang if this guy screws you but I don't think its worth giving up a STAB for coverage against a select few.

I looked it up and saw some comments saying he was one of the weaker mega evolutions from GameFAQs. I'll stick with the Iron Head since it's helped me take out some other threats. I just think it's harder to deal with him in a 3v3 battle if I didn't select the right Pokemon to counter him with. Even DDance Dragonite only did a small amount against him. It just got me thinking whether or not I should use Choice Band or the Scizorite when I decide to do battles with him. With Swords Dance/Roost he looks like he could be a good wall.
EDIT: I've actually been doing really well today. I think I've only lost twice. Although, I've been disconnected on at least 5 times now. It's really sad people can't take a loss.
